Hillary Duff has taken to Twitter to thank her fans for all their "support and love" during this difficult time.

After the announcement of her split from husband Mike Comrie on 10 January, Hilary has been seen out and about putting on a brave face.

The 26-year old was spotted in LA on Monday morning heading to her local gym.

Dressed in comfortable gym-wear, Hilary can be seen walking and smiling for the camera.

The former couple has stated that they are better as friends than as husband and wife. Their spokesman released a statement saying: “They remain best friends and will continue to be in each other's lives”.
